Tominator Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'm thinking I make so many prayer requests, I ought to just make one sticky, and just change the intention every now and then. Anyway, another request if you're able. My district is making $1.3 million in cuts between now and mid March. (rumor is today the axe falls on a few) Good chance someone from my department will be cut, might be me. I don't want to request a prayer for someone else to get cut, that seems wrong, lol. Maybe just pray for peace of mind and guidance if I do get cut. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 hey chris sometimes people have needs. there's no such thing as asking for too many prayers. definitely an uneasy thought to loose ones job. prayers are coming. for anyone who gets cut for that matter.

The_Kat Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 You got em bud. Say the same one for my family as well. Budget cuts in the education system look like they could get us too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 The superintendent was supposed to make rounds yesterday or today letting people know they're job is on the board meeting agenda for tonight's meeting, but I haven't seen him yet today, and I didn't see him yesterday. Tonight's meeting will just be the suggestions, nothing definite yet. Sometimes other cuts and/or retirements can alleviate some of the cuts. Should know tomorrow for sure.

Tominator Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Well, it's official. I'm on the chop block. The Board will act on specific cuts on March 20th. Things happen for a reason. Maybe it's time for me to move on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I so sorry to hear this Chris. Never has teaching been so under attack like it is now. I just do not understand it. You will be in my prayers buddy. The entire business department got cut at our high school last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastTnHunter Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Chris, just wondering how long have you been at the school system you're in currently and how many years total have you taught? Does senioriority mean anything??? or is it because you teach a certain subject? guessing if they get rid of the subject you cant teach anything else?

Tominator Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Chris, just wondering how long have you been at the school system you're in currently and how many years total have you taught? Does senioriority mean anything??? or is it because you teach a certain subject? guessing if they get rid of the subject you cant teach anything else? 20 years total, this is my 19th at my current school. Seniority means nothing because they're cutting the whole business program. It's due to the fact that the business subjects are electives and not "core" subjects like English, Math, Science, History.

ruttinbuc Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Very sorry to hear this, Chris. Seems these cuts are everywhere. I feel we are being destroyed from the inside out. What is sacred anymore? All we can do is hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 wow, chris. just not good news. it seems about 25% of the nation is being cut. somehow, though, i'm thinking it will work out well. more prayers coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Seems these cuts are everywhere. :yes: I feel we are being destroyed from the inside out. :yes: What is sacred anymore? Not much, if we are cutting essential services to our future generations. States keep asking for more, but providing no support to achieve the goals. All we can do is hope for the best. Yep. I'm a survivor, I'll land on my feet for sure, but it's really a shame what they're doing to education in America. Thanks for the thoughts and prayers folks. I'll keep you all updated.
